The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Bbbbbut these are "organic" protests, right? I mean, it's not like people are dropping off expensive gear for the rioters:

Oh...right.

Anyway. I've said for years that leftist goons were getting funded to riot across state lines and now that we have a real FBI...here we go:

mxmnews.com: MxM News: FBI probes foreign, domestic funding behind anti-ICE riots

As anti-ICE riots continue to grip Los Angeles, the FBI is zeroing in on who’s funding the chaos. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Monday night that the bureau is “investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”

The unrest erupted after federal immigration agents launched a series of high-profile raids across Southern California. What began as protests escalated dramatically over the weekend, with mobs numbering over a thousand assaulting federal agents, setting fires to self-driving vehicles, blocking highways, and hurling concrete at law enforcement officers.

The intensity of the violence—and the presence of foreign flags among the rioters—has sparked urgent questions in Washington about who’s backing the movement.

“The FBI is actively tracing the money trail,” former FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota told Just the News, explaining that law enforcement is likely targeting the financial and logistical support structures behind the riots. “They have become professional rabble-rousers…financed around the country to show up at different events and cause problems,” he added.

Yes. Find the source of the money, and cut it off.
